There is no dancing …You just want to take a slap at Catholics who have every right to be offended

Isreal is not a welcoming place or the Palestinian Christians wouldn’t be leaving in record numbers

I suspect thsi whole situation pleases you some how

You continue to dance around.

Catholics are making this an issue because of new hints of anti-Semitism in the Catholic church over recent issues. That hint is always below the surface and damning IMO. Just be deep into history. Read, read read.

But evangelicals are, IMO, the bellwaether on this. And the few I’ve heard on radio and know personally are attacking the catholics and not Israeli seculari TV on this.

It is a diversion by the CC IMO - and that is why rvangelical Christians are not foisiting a false “perseuction” over this incident.

IMO this says a lot more about the CC than even the secular Israeli TV source. Like who is zooming whom and who is tryiong to divert attention/divert the argument. Ain’t the Chritians - well except for some Catholics.

The evangelicals I know have little love for Catholics. A station, private or public, makes blasphemous comments about the BVM, of course evangelicals are not going to think it a big deal. I’ve heard envangelicals state some pretty absurd things about the BVM themselves.

Actually, evangelical Chritsians are growing as a percentage in Israel. As they are in Jordan and Lebannon. But Catholics and Orthodox are collapsing so much that the net Christian presence is shrinking.

The overall Chritian population is down, but those Christians remaining are more and more pentecostal and evangelical. And eventually it is only through such a witness, IMO, that Christianity will be able to grow again in Israel and the Middle East.

To smear over a billion people over the beliefs of a small segment of a small group in irregular standing with the church is beyond absurd.

If by “anti-Semitism”, you mean a failure to immediately support any action taken by the state of Israel, then I suppose most Catholics would be guilty.

Except that it isn’t genuine Christianity. Outside of the Church, it doesn’t particularly matter what sect you belong to.

That is your opinion.

Genuine Chritianity - I’d posit that maybe the 25,000 Chritsian sects - including catholics as one of those sects - is a sign that Chritianity itself is false. And a denial of the prayer of Jesus - inspired supposedly - that “thye be one” is false. If Jeusus is Lord and his prayer was not efficacious. Well, think it through.

But this a whole other topic. One, nonetheless, that more in the West are suddenly having an “ah ha” moment on. And that is excellerating and that is good. IMO.

Your posts are quite humorous! Predictable, but humorus nonetheless.

Can I ask you a question? Would you seek out Catholic info to verify something? Your previous posts tell me no, you wouldn’t. So why on earth would a Catholic poster, on a Catholic Forum, in a Catholic thread want to find such a suspect source of info for this article on a “solid evangelical Christian” site?

It boggles the mind…

It’s not a matter of opinion. It’s a matter of the objective teaching of the only church Christ founded.

The Church is perfectly and totally unified, a unity of which the Roman Pontiff is an intrinsic source and sign. This unity cannot be broken; anyone guilty of heresy and schism simply ceases to be a member of the Body of Christ. The prayer of Christ is fulfilled today, and will continue to be until the end of time.
 
It’s nothing more that another person that comes to this forum to bash Catholics

I think that in itself is terribly sad…It I was someone who couldn’t abide
Catholics the last place I would go it to their forum to pick a fight with them

consider yourself on ignore

Code:
I think you are straying form the title of the thread. When our precious Lady or any other of our beliefs is blasphemed by any one, Israelites included, I too will be upset. They have no right to do so. Evangelicals have always denigraded the CC. I have a brother to prove it.

Catholcism cannot be a denomination…denomination means fraction. Catholcisim existed way, way before any protestant ‘sects’ existed…and then 39,000+ some. The whole of christianity is found in Catholcisim…
 
I’m still waiting from the uproar from evangelicals on this! Notjhing.

The “official” Catholic church is responding, IMO, to divert attention from the recent mis-steps of Rome and the hints of anti-Semitism in “traditonalists” whom Rome nonetheless wants to reconcile. Out of desperation IMO. But the story is more and more Catholic are rising up against this - inspired by the Spirit. European theolgians and Austrian bishops are just the most recent to be stepping out in faith. But I am sure many more will follow.

Truth will win out in the end. It always does.

Yes, but it’s on the side of the Pope. The Church will regain everything those people have worked to destroy.

This “stepping out in faith” as you call it is nothing but the anguished screams of Satan in seeing his work collapse.
 
Vatican irked by `blasphemous’ Israel TV show

The Vatican said Friday it has formally complained to the Israeli government about a private Israeli TV show that ridiculed Jesus and Mary in an “offensive act of intolerance.”
In Israel, the television station assured the Israeli foreign ministry that the segment would not be shown again and that its host, well-known Israeli comedian Lior Shlein, had apologized.

How intolerant must someone be to accuse Catholics of covering up anti-semetism when they stand up for themselves in the face of anti-Catholicism? :rolleyes:

Oh, and by the way, all Catholics are semites. 😉
 
I don’t know what the content of the show in Israel was. But I have no reason to doubt that it was every bit as anti-Catholic as some of the programming one sees with increasing frequency in the U.S.
